AIR— ''HAPPY  LAND  OF  CANAAiV:- 

You  Rebels  come  along  and  listen  to  my  song, 

The  subject  of  the  same  is  not  worth  naming 

It  is  about  the  man,  who  did  adopt  a  plan, 
To  send  you  to  the  Happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
Chorus — Oh,  oh,  oh  !  Ah,  ah,  ah  ! 
Our  day  of  recompense  is  coming. 
If  the  Yankees  go  down  South, 
They  will  see  the  cannon's  mouth, 
That  will  send  them  to  the  Happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
Old  Uncle  Abe,  he  ordered  a  blockade. 

He  thought  that  his  vessels  would  sustain  him. 
But  the  old  Merrimac,  she  gave  them  such  a  crack. 
That  she  sent  them  to  the  Happy  Laid  of  Canaan. 
CnoRts — Oh,  oh,  oh,  &c. 

We  had  a  little  fun,  at  the  battle  of  Bull  Run, 
Where  the  Yankees  left  the  battle-fi.ld  a  sailing. 

Where  acres  of  them  fell,  for  we  gave  them  merry  

And  sent  them  to  the  Happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
Chorus — Oh,  oh,  oh,  &c. 

And  next  to  prove  our  stuflF,  we  met  them  at  Balls  Bluff. 

And  gave  old  Abe's  Hessians  quite  a  taming. 
Indeed  it  was  a  sin,  for  to  see  the  Yankees  swim. 

As  we  sent  them  to  the  happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
Chorus — Oh,  oh,  oh,  &c. 

The  gallant  "Old  Stonewall,"  gave  Gen.  Bank?  a  call- 
Banks  the  Abolitionist — the  same  one. 

Brave  Jackson  with  his  files  drove  him  fully  ninety  milec, 
And  sent  him  to  the  Happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
CuoRua — Oh,  oh,  oh,  &c. 

The  Young  Napoleon,  he  led  his  forces  on. 

The  Peninsula,  the  route  he  was  claiming — 
He  marshalled  them  in  pomp,  in  the  Chickahominy  Swamp, 

Which  sent  them  to  the  Happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
Chorus— Oh,  oh,  oh,  &c. 

McClellan  he  did  blow,  that  to  Richmond  he  would  go. 

To  take  that  doated  city  he  was  aiming — 
But  his  forces  they  did  fall,  before  the  brave  Stonewall. 

Who  sent  them  to  the  Happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
Chorus — Oh,  oh,  oh,  &c. 

••Mac"  thought  he'd  make  a  break,  and  try  to  raise  a  etake^ 

After  nine  months  his  forces  were  a  training. 
To  give  "old  Jeff"  a  call,  and  "drive  him  to  the  wall." 

And  land  him  in  the  Happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
Chorus — Oh,  oh,  oh,  &c. 

But  I'd  have  you  all  to  see,  that  there  was  GEN.  LEE, 

Who  knew  the  plan  to  operate  agin*  him. 
And  to  perpetrate  a  prank,  by  turning  his  right  flank. 

Which  sent  him  to  the  Happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
Chorus— Oh,  oh,  oh,  &c. 

Old  Abe  must  plainly  see,  we're  determined  to  be  free, 

Liberty  and  Independence  we  are  gaining, 
The  North  no  doubt  is  strong,  but  just  let  them  come  along. 

And  we'll  send  them  to  the  Happy  Land  of  Canaan. 
Chorus — Oh,  oh,  oh,  &o.
